Blame the Villain – Chapter 141

Villainous Fake Eunuch (18)

Song Xuyi secretly, with a red face, finished reading the book and “pa” closed it, hiding it in the cabinet.

Not long after Song Xuyi closed the book, the “sleeping” Gu Ruyu opened her eyes.

“You woke up!”

Song Xuyi, not bothering to savor the latter half of the book’s exciting scenes in the bedroom, study, and forest, used a pillow to help prop up Gu Ruyu’s body and began to apply medicine and massage acupuncture points.

However, perhaps because she had just woken up, Gu Ruyu’s body was extremely weak, and during the application of the medicine, her body couldn’t help but slide down…

Gu Ruyu pursed her lips, seeming extremely difficult to accept herself in this appearance, turned half her body to reveal her slender and beautiful collarbone, with her head slightly lowered and long eyelashes trembling.

This Gu Ruyu looked particularly sorrowful and beautiful, like a swan with broken wings, making people lament.

Song Xuyi couldn’t stop feeling pity for Gu Ruyu. When she came back to her senses, she had already sat on the bed, supporting Gu Ruyu’s shoulder and carefully letting Gu Ruyu rest on her lap.

From Song Xuyi’s angle, she could clearly see Gu Ruyu’s eyes reddened by the medicine pack, as if she had just cried, and Gu Ruyu’s lips were also more rosy than usual. Her whole body reclined on Song Xuyi’s lap, her black hair like a waterfall spread over Song Xuyi’s full skirt. Perhaps because she couldn’t see, Gu Ruyu’s originally neatly managed clothes were somewhat disordered, exposing her distinctly exquisite collarbone, and her white skin almost showed no pores…

Yet this beauty had no awareness of attracting others, as she slightly turned her face with a corner of her lips raised: “Xuyi, what fragrance did you use? It smells extremely good.”

Song Xuyi’s hand shook, almost pressing the medicine pack on Gu Ruyu’s mouth—

This was really too coincidental!

In the erotic book that Song Xuyi had just finished reading, the maid, the first time she coaxed the lady to do that thing, pretended to be drunk, entangled the lady, and at the moment of satisfaction in bed, buried her head in the lady’s neck and teasingly said, “Miss, what fragrance did you use?”

Thinking of the scene in the book, Song Xuyi felt extremely guilty, her face red to the neck, and with difficulty, she pretended a calm appearance to speak: “I… I did not use any fragrance.”

“Is that so?” Gu Ruyu seemed somewhat annoyed, slightly pouting her lips, her cheeks also slightly red, suddenly took a low breath, moved her body: “Xuyi, my shoulder hurts a bit, can I move a little?”

Song Xuyi stammered to agree, yet did not expect Gu Ruyu to move closer to her!

“I, a mere eunuch, the Princess need not mind, if there is any offense, I hope the Princess will forgive!”

Saying offense, Gu Ruyu’s movements did not slow at all, her injured arm reaching out to embrace Song Xuyi’s waist, her head slightly raised, vacant eyes as if inquiring ‘looking’ in Song Xuyi’s direction—

Even knowing Gu Ruyu could not see at this time, Song Xuyi did not dare to meet Gu Ruyu’s eyes: she felt her whole self was not well, her body emitting heat, her face so red it almost dripped blood, extremely regretting not resisting the temptation to read that book—now her thoughts were completely tainted, hearing Gu Ruyu’s words always felt like shameful lines from the book…

What ‘move a bit’, ‘offense’ and such… what kind of outrageous words are these?!

(If you're not reading on littlepandatranslations.com, it means this has been stolen)

“I… I don’t mind, I said I would take care of you.” Song Xuyi strongly endured her shame, placed the medicine pack on Gu Ruyu’s eyes, originally thinking that Gu Ruyu would calmly receive the treatment. However, probably due to pain, Gu Ruyu’s hand around Song Xuyi’s waist suddenly tightened. When Song Xuyi’s force applying the medicine lessened, Gu Ruyu released her grip, yet a low, seemingly contented moan escaped her red lips…

This sound seemed both pleasurable and pained, easily reminiscent of certain situations.

Song Xuyi gritted her teeth, her gaze at Gu Ruyu unconsciously filled with a bit of resentment: just having finished reading a certain type of book, with a stunning top-tier beauty resting on her lap, this was truly a test of patience! For a moment, Song Xuyi even wanted to imitate the domineering CEO from TV dramas, lift Gu Ruyu’s chin, and coldly say: “Woman, you’re playing with fire!”

But Song Xuyi only dared to think about it. Even injured, Song Xuyi knew she was no match for Gu Ruyu, especially since Gu Ruyu was her lifesaver. If she harbored any inappropriate thoughts toward her in her weakened state, it would indeed be too beastly.

Fortunately, the system seemed to sense Song Xuyi’s wavering will and conveniently played the 《Heart Sutra》 in Song Xuyi’s mind.

On one side was vivid allure, on the other was scripture chanting. Song Xuyi felt like a Buddha child crossing tribulations, experiencing the greatest hardship of her life.

In the end, Song Xuyi’s Buddhist nature once again triumphed over her animal instincts. She focused solely on the medicine pack in her hand, striving to ignore the suppressed groans and chaotic breathing coming from Gu Ruyu…

Finally, the torturous process of applying the medicine ended. Song Xuyi threw the medicine pack into the bucket, feeling more exhausted than after a battle, unconsciously breaking into a sweat. Probably due to the blood-activating effects of the medicine, Gu Ruyu’s originally pale cheeks were now flushed with a rosy hue, looking particularly alluring and tempting.

Song Xuyi took one glance and dared not look again, fearing her Buddhist nature would waver. She used the excuse of discarding the cooled medicinal juice to leave the room, barely managing to cool down the heat on her face.

Song Xuyi did not dare to face Gu Ruyu alone again, so she used the excuse of helping to enter the kitchen to assist Zhao Qin in cooking. Only after the meal was prepared did she take a few deep breaths to prepare herself mentally before re-entering the room.

And although Gu Ruyu’s complexion had looked much better before, at this moment she once again appeared pale, like a frail willow swaying in the wind. Seeing such a weak Gu Ruyu, Song Xuyi no longer had any romantic thoughts and immediately stepped forward intending to support Gu Ruyu—

“I’ll do it myself!”

However, Gu Ruyu seemed not to want Song Xuyi’s support. With a pale face, she avoided Song Xuyi’s outstretched hand, took a few steps, and her body swayed, almost collapsing to the ground—

Gu Ruyu’s condition seemed to have worsened!

“Why don’t we try to find a way to see a doctor!” Song Xuyi hurriedly stepped forward to support Gu Ruyu and couldn’t help but speak anxiously: “Maybe once we get into the city, we can find a way to avoid the soldiers’ pursuit…”

“No need,” Gu Ruyu leaned half her body on Song Xuyi’s shoulder, coughed twice and spoke softly: “This is an old chronic ailment, I’m aware of it, it’s not a problem.”

Song Xuyi wanted to persuade further, but Gu Ruyu interrupted her: “Miss Zhao kindly took us in, we shouldn’t keep her waiting long. Please help me to the dining table…”

Gu Ruyu’s expression was extremely determined, and remembering her plan to make Gu Ruyu grateful to Zhao Qin, Song Xuyi could only worriedly half-support Gu Ruyu to the dining table.

However, the journey was not easy. Gu Ruyu’s head rested on Song Xuyi’s neck, and the warm breath brushing past made Song Xuyi’s spine tingle, making it difficult to maintain her pace.

“What happened?” Zhao Qin looked at Gu Ruyu, who was almost half-hanging on Song Xuyi, and spoke with concern: “Has the illness worsened?”

“No problem, I just almost twisted my ankle.” Song Xuyi supported Gu Ruyu to sit on the chair, seemingly not wanting Zhao Qin to notice her condition. Gu Ruyu sat upright at the table, a helpless smile on her lips, not showing the previous frail appearance at all: “Xuyi worried about me, so she insisted on supporting me over here. I wanted her to let go, but no matter how I persuaded her, she wouldn’t listen.”

(If you're not reading on littlepandatranslations.com, it means this has been stolen)

“I see!” Zhao Qin breathed a sigh of relief and couldn’t help but look at Song Xuyi: “Xuyi, you two sisters really have a good relationship.”

Song Xuyi’s ears seemed to still carry the lingering breath of Gu Ruyu, feeling flustered and not keeping up with the conversation at the dining table, she didn’t respond right away. Instead, Gu Ruyu lowered her head once more, her expression appearing somewhat proud yet shy, softly speaking: “To be honest, Xuyi has always treated me extremely well. Although I am a few years older, she takes care of me even more.”

……

Nearby, Zhao Lian coldly watched everything happening before him, feeling something strange in his heart but couldn’t pinpoint where the strangeness lay. He didn’t know why, but seeing that woman’s demeanor made him instinctively shiver with discomfort, and he couldn’t help but knock on the table: “The dishes are getting cold!”

So Zhao Qin enthusiastically began arranging for the meal, starting to introduce which dishes she made and which ones Song Xuyi made… For a moment, the room was filled only with Zhao Qin’s cheerful voice.

Worried that Gu Ruyu might have difficulty picking up the dishes, Song Xuyi took on the task of serving food for Gu Ruyu. Originally, Song Xuyi intended to focus solely on serving the food, but Gu Ruyu was simply too captivating. Every time Song Xuyi served her a dish, Gu Ruyu would look at her and smile, her beautifully shaped eyes shimmering, and her lips, moistened with water, looked incredibly supple. Song Xuyi couldn’t help but feel restless and had to let the system play the 《Heart Sutra》 in her mind again.

After finally finishing the meal, Song Xuyi volunteered to wash the dishes, almost fleeing as she turned and entered the kitchen.

Zhao Lian, feeling instinctively uneasy upon seeing Gu Ruyu, ate a few bites of food before heading to the backyard to chop wood.

For a moment, only Gu Ruyu and Zhao Qin were left in the living room.

As soon as Song Xuyi entered the kitchen, the smile on Gu Ruyu’s lips immediately disappeared, while Zhao Qin frowned at the sight of Zheng Lian going to the backyard, not noticing Gu Ruyu’s unusual expression.

“Thank you, Miss Zhao, for the hospitality today. You are an excellent cook,” Gu Ruyu said softly, taking a sip of tea and ‘looking’ at Zhao Qin. Although she said this, only Gu Ruyu knew that she hadn’t tasted any of the dishes Zhao Qin made that evening, only eating the ones Song Xuyi prepared.

Gu Ruyu initiated the conversation, and Zhao Qin, being lively and talkative, quickly started chatting with her.

With Gu Ruyu’s exceptional appearance and deep cunning, almost no one could refuse her goodwill when she chose to show it. Zhao Qin soon became familiar with Gu Ruyu, even calling her “Sister Gu.”

“Sister Gu,” Zhao Qin looked at Gu Ruyu’s face, which appeared even more beautiful under the light, and couldn’t help but softly say: “You are so beautiful, I guess no one in the world could dislike you…”

“Appearance is just superficial,” Gu Ruyu softly replied, though there was a hint of darkness in her eyes: “Miss Zhao, being so kind-hearted and lively, is equally likable.”

Zhao Qin frowned, feeling that Gu Ruyu’s tone sounded strange, but Gu Ruyu’s words touched on her sadness, so she didn’t bother to quarrel over it. Hearing this, a rare trace of sorrow appeared on her face: “I consider myself not unpleasant, but I can never quite grasp the thoughts of the person in my heart…”

Gu Ruyu paused her hand that was drinking tea, but her voice became even softer: “I wonder who the person in Miss Zhao’s heart might be…”

“Oh, didn’t Xuyi tell you?” Zhao Qin shifted her body, for some reason feeling a chill down her back, and glanced at Gu Ruyu’s eyes, speaking with a hint of shyness: “It’s… it’s that blockhead chopping wood in the backyard!”

Zhao Qin didn’t know if it was her imagination, but she felt that after she finished speaking, Gu Ruyu’s expression relaxed a bit, and even her lips carried a faint, thoughtful smile: “Sincerity can move mountains. As long as Miss Zhao is sincere, there will be a day when she moves that person, and besides, I can sense that the man has some feelings for Miss Zhao too…” After all, the third prince of the court, Zheng Lian, was famously distant from women, and when had he ever been so attentive to a woman like Zhao Qin?

“However,” Gu Ruyu’s tone shifted: “That man’s demeanor is extraordinary, and he might have an unusual background. If one day he regains his memory—”

“Miss Zhao, many things in this world cannot be solved just by mutual affection…”

(If you're not reading on littlepandatranslations.com, it means this has been stolen)

Gu Ruyu felt this was a rare moment of kindness. Upon hearing that Song Xuyi knew about Zhao Qin’s affection for Zheng Lian, the suffocating frustration in Gu Ruyu’s heart vanished instantly. Since she had tested and found no ambiguity between Zhao Qin and Xuyi, she offered this advice: if Gu Ruyu was not mistaken, the court’s envoy that Song Xuyi informed was already on the way, and Zheng Lian’s identity and status meant he could not marry a village girl…

“What does identity and status matter,” However, Zhao Qin did not fall silent as Gu Ruyu had expected. Zhao Qin laughed happily, her tone extremely firm: “As long as he likes me, I will always stay by his side.”

At this time, Zhao Qin did not know that, according to the original plot, identity and status would indeed become a hindrance between them, and she would truly feel inferior because of it. However, neither of them knew the future developments. Hearing Zhao Qin’s words, Gu Ruyu was stunned, pursed her red lips, and for once, was lost in thought…

The author has something to say:

Xiaogu, stop flirting; the child is almost spoiled by your flirting!

Oh, I originally intended to update before midnight, but I might have gotten distracted again. I spent a long time filling in the verification code before logging in. Go to bed early, muah muah.
